Jin Ling Xian Xia investigates the truth in deep space

The wind and rain raged, thunder and lightning flashed. Everyone struggled to hold on, but ultimately, they could not withstand the violent force of nature. Suddenly, a strong wind swept up, forming a huge vortex that sucked them all in.

"Ah..." The screams were drowned out by the sound of wind and rain, and their figures instantly disappeared in the storm.

Su Mo was washed by the raging flood to a place not far from the abandoned ancient library. At this moment, he was dying, and his life seemed to be about to disappear in this endless darkness.

Just as Su Mo's consciousness was fading, an unusual light suddenly emanated from the ancient library. This light pierced the darkness, illuminating Su Mo's pale face. Within the light, the figure of a servant slowly emerged. Dressed in azure, the servant had a delicate face, and his eyes shone with a spirit and mystery.

Su Mo struggled to open his eyes, looking at the bizarre scene before him, his heart filled with confusion and shock. The servant Xiaozhi walked lightly towards Su Mo, each step seeming to carry a strange rhythm.

"You... who are you?" Su Mo asked weakly.

The book boy smiled slightly, his voice as clear as a bell: "I am the spirit of this library, and it seems that you and I have a connection with millions of ancient books."

After saying this, the servant gently waved his sleeves, and a gentle spiritual power flowed into Su Mo's body. Su Mo immediately felt a warm current flowing through his body, and his originally heavy injuries began to gradually ease, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

Su Mo struggled to stand up and bowed to the servant boy, saying, "Thank you, little fairy boy, for saving my life."

The book boy waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite. Since we are connected by books, I should help you. Come with me into the library, and perhaps you will find your opportunity."

Su Mo followed the servant into the library. The moment he stepped inside, he was stunned by the sight. Countless bookshelves towered into the sky, filled with ancient books, each one emitting a faint spiritual energy.

The servant brought Su Mo to a corner, pointed to a yellowed ancient book and said, "This book is destined for you, you can take it and study it." Su Mo respectfully took the ancient book and saw four big words "Secret of the Spiritual Heart" written on it.

He gently turned the pages of the book, and a powerful spiritual power rushed towards him. The words in the book seemed to come alive and jumped into his mind.

"This...this is so magical!" Su Mo was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

The servant smiled slightly and said, "Don't be surprised. This is a secret manual of immortality, so it is naturally extraordinary."

At this moment, steam rose from the three cups of hot tea on the table. Su Mo widened his eyes, at a loss.

The servant explained, "This is due to the spiritual power of the Spiritual Heart Secret Technique. You will gradually understand it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, followed by a heavy rain.

Su Mo looked at the rain outside the window and muttered to himself, "Could this be the spirit of the ancient pictographic character 'ling'?"

The servant nodded and said, "That's right! Now that you have obtained this book, you must practice diligently and not let this opportunity go to waste."

Su Mo nodded solemnly, "Thank you Xiaozhi for your guidance."

When he gently turned the first page, he found something unusual. The characters "Jiong" were alive and moving, and when he turned the second page, a magical scene appeared.

The hearts of all kinds of birds, beasts, and fish swirled in the air, like stars circling in the sky. Su Mo's eyes widened, shocked by this bizarre sight.

"What...what on earth is this?" Su Mo couldn't help but mutter to himself.

At this moment, a mysterious voice sounded in his ears: "Young man, this is the key to the true meaning of the Immortal Gate. Whether you can master it depends on your luck."

Su Mo was startled and looked around, but there was no one in sight. "Who is it? Who's talking?" he asked nervously.

"Don't panic, I am the guardian of this ancient book. You can call me Elder Ling." The voice came again.

Su Mo calmed down and said, "Master Ling, what is the secret behind these many phantoms of the heart?"

Elder Ling said slowly, "These hearts represent the emotions and souls of all things in the world. If you can comprehend their true meaning, you will be able to see through all living things, and your path to becoming an immortal will be smooth."

Su Mo nodded, not quite understanding, and began to try to communicate with these flying mind shadows.

However, this was no easy task. Every time he tried to approach a heart figure, he was repelled by an invisible force. After many failed attempts, Su Mo became discouraged.

"Is it really impossible for me to understand the mystery behind this?" Su Mo muttered to himself.

Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly remembered his original intention of cultivating immortals, which was to save the common people and pursue the supreme immortal path.

"No, I can't give up like this!" Su Mo gritted his teeth and cheered up again.

After several days of intense contemplation, Su Mo finally discovered something. The rotation of these mind images seemed to follow a certain pattern.

He calmed down, observed carefully, and finally found the key. When he reached out to touch a bird's heart again, this time, the resistance disappeared and he successfully grasped the heart.

In an instant, Su Mo felt a powerful force surging into his body, and at the same time he felt the freedom and agility of a bird.

"So that's it!" Su Mo was ecstatic.

Just as Su Mo was immersed in the joy of enlightenment, he didn't know that a crisis was quietly approaching.

An evil cultivator named Black Wind in the mountains, upon hearing the news that Su Mo had obtained the mysterious ancient book, became jealous and greedy.

"Hmph, a young boy is worthy of owning such a treasure?" Old Man Heifeng snorted coldly and led his men towards the cave where Su Mo was.

At this time, Su Mo was still concentrating on comprehending the mysteries in the ancient books and was unaware of the impending danger.

"Su Mo, hand over the ancient book immediately, otherwise today will be the day you die!" The voice of old man Heifeng sounded outside the cave.

Su Mo was startled and stood up to look outside the cave, only to see Old Man Heifeng and others standing there with ferocious looks on their faces.

"Old Man Heifeng, you evil villain, don't even think about getting the ancient books!" Su Mo shouted angrily.

"If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. Come on!" Old Man Heifeng waved his hand, and his men rushed towards the cave.

Su Mo was not afraid at all. He used the magic he had learned and started a fierce battle with the enemy.

But Old Man Heifeng was very powerful, and Su Mo gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"Am I going to die here today?" Su Mo thought to himself.

At this critical moment, Su Mo suddenly felt the comprehended power of the heart begin to surge in his body.

An idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he gathered all the power into his palm, then pushed it out with all his might.

A bright light flashed, and Old Man Heifeng and others were pushed back several feet.

"This...how is this possible?" Old Man Heifeng looked at Su Mo in surprise.

Su Mo took this opportunity to turn around and escape from the cave.

He ran wildly through the mountains and forests, with Old Man Heifeng and others chasing him closely.

As he ran, Su Mo came to the edge of a cliff.

"There is no way to retreat ahead. Let's see where you can run!" Old Man Heifeng smiled proudly.

Su Mo looked at the cliff in front of him and made up his mind: "Rather than being caught by you, a wicked villain, I'd rather fight to the death!"

After saying that, he jumped off the cliff.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Mo slowly opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar valley.

"I'm not dead?" Su Mo felt very fortunate.

He looked around and found that there was a dilapidated temple here.

Su Mo walked into the temple, where a mysterious statue was enshrined.

Just as he was wondering, the statue suddenly emitted a light, and a kind voice rang out: "Child, you have gone through hardships, and the test of your heart is not over yet."

Su Mo quickly knelt down and saluted: "Please give me some advice, Senior."

"The heart is the root of all things in the world. Although you have comprehended some of the power of the heart, you still need to explore the true path by yourself." The voice gradually faded away.

Su Mo pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked out of the temple.

He knew that his road to becoming an immortal was still long, but he was no longer confused.

Su Mo embarked on a new journey, continuing to pursue the supreme immortal path...

After that, Su Mo studied "The Secret of the Spiritual Heart" day and night. With his extraordinary talent and unremitting efforts, he gradually comprehended the subtleties of it.

However, the road to cultivation was not smooth sailing. Once, Su Mo went astray during his cultivation, causing his spiritual energy to run wild and causing him unbearable pain.

"What should I do? Am I going to die here?" Su Mo's heart was filled with fear.

At this moment, the servant appeared in time. He formed seals with his hands and injected a gentle force into Su Mo's body, helping him calm his disordered spiritual power.

"When practicing, you must not rush for quick results, you must proceed step by step." The servant warned.

Su Mo was filled with gratitude. "Thank you for saving my life, brother. I will be more careful next time."

After this setback, Su Mo became more cautious and practiced more diligently.

As his cultivation improved, Su Mo gradually became prominent in the Immortal Residence, but this also aroused the jealousy of some disciples.

"Hmph, a wild boy from the countryside is worthy of such an opportunity?" A disciple sneered.

"That's right, let me show you how I teach him a lesson." Another disciple echoed.

That day, Su Mo was practicing in the garden when those disciples suddenly surrounded him.

"Su Mo, today I will let you know how powerful we are." The leading disciple said viciously.

Su Mo stood up and asked, "Brothers, why are you making things difficult for me?"

"Stop talking nonsense and take it!" After saying that, several people attacked Su Mo.

Su Mo was not in a hurry. He used the spells in the "Secret of the Spiritual Heart" to deal with them.

After a fierce battle, Su Mo defeated several disciples with his superb magic.

After this incident, no one dared to look down on Su Mo anymore.

As time passed, Su Mo's cultivation became increasingly advanced. Finally, he had the opportunity to break through.

In a cave, Su Mo practiced in seclusion. After eighty-one days of torment, he successfully broke through the bottleneck and entered a higher realm of cultivation.

The moment he walked out of the cave, the sunlight shone on him, making him look like an immortal descending to earth.

The servant came over to congratulate him: "Congratulations, Su Mo, your path to becoming an immortal will surely be bright."

Su Mo was so immersed in this wonderful cultivation method that he lost track of time. After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes, a flicker of surprise in them. He felt his spiritual power had significantly increased.

However, at this moment, a sinister laugh was heard from outside the library. "Hahaha, I never thought there would be such a treasure here!"

Su Mo and Xiao Zhi's expressions changed as they saw an old man named Heifeng appear at the door. The old man's eyes were filled with greed, and his body was emitting evil spiritual power.

"Little kid, hand over the ancient book in your hand, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" the old man threatened.

Su Mo held the ancient book tightly and stepped forward: "Don't even think about it! This is my chance, how could I give it to a villain like you!"

The old man snorted coldly and waved his hand, sending a black streak of spiritual energy towards Su Mo. Seeing this, the servant boy dodged and stood in front of Su Mo, forming seals with his hands. A beam of green light met the black streak.

With a loud "bang", the shock wave generated by the collision of spiritual power caused the library to tremble slightly.

The servant boy's face paled, a trickle of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. Su Mo's eyes widened in anger, a surge of fighting spirit rising within him. He channeled the spiritual energy he had just cultivated and unleashed a spell from the Secret of the Spiritual Heart.

A ball of blue light condensed in his hand, and the light turned into a sharp arrow, shooting towards the old man. The old man dodged sideways, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "I didn't expect you to have some skills."

After saying that, the old man launched another attack, and the powerful spiritual power made Su Mo and the book boy breathless. Just as they were struggling to hold on, Su Mo suddenly felt a powerful force coming from the ancient book.

A sudden inspiration struck him, and he lifted the ancient tome high. It suddenly shone with dazzling light, and within the light, a massive rune emerged. The rune spun, unleashing a devastating force that instantly enveloped the old man.

"Ah!" Old Man Heifeng let out a scream, and his figure gradually disappeared in the light.

The crisis was over, and both Su Mo and Xiao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. After this fierce battle, Su Mo became more proficient in the use of spiritual power and also understood the difficulties and hardships of the path to immortality.

"Thank you, Shutong. If it weren't for you, I would have lost my life long ago." Su Mo said gratefully.

The servant smiled faintly: "There is no need for thanks between you and me. The road to immortal cultivation is still long, so you must be more careful."

Su Mo nodded heavily, his gaze fixed firmly into the distance. He knew this was only the beginning of his journey to immortality...

Su Mo stood on the misty mountaintop, nodded solemnly, and gazed resolutely into the distance. He knew that this was only the beginning of his journey to immortality.

Su Mo carried a rune-emblazoned folding fan. While seemingly ordinary, it held a profound secret. The runes on the fan shone with a mysterious light, each ray of light seeming to hold boundless power. His azure robes rustled in the wind, his figure slender and upright, his brows radiating with determination and courage.

He left the mountaintop and entered a mysterious forest. The trees here towered, their branches intertwined. Sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, creating dappled shadows. Su Mo advanced cautiously, his ears occasionally filled with eerie sounds. Suddenly, a massive demonic beast leaped from the shadows, claws and fangs bared, charging at him. Su Mo quickly unfolded his rune-emblazoned folding fan, and the runes within it shone brightly, transforming into sharp beams of light that shot towards the demonic beast. The beast screamed and fled, wounded.

Su Mo continued on his journey, encountering numerous hardships and obstacles along the way, but he never gave up. He had heard that the Golden Spirit Immortal Hero had appeared in a valley rich in spiritual energy. When he finally reached that valley after enduring countless hardships, he found it empty except for a single ray of light that flashed across the sky and disappeared into the distance. He knew it was the trace left by the Golden Spirit Immortal Hero's Spiritual Sword, but the Golden Spirit Immortal Hero himself was nowhere to be seen.

Undeterred, Su Mo turned and headed back to the legendary location of the Water Soft Fairy. It was a tranquil lake, its waters crystal clear, surrounded by vibrant flowers. It was said that the Water Soft Fairy often cultivated there, her silk jade belt capable of controlling the flow of water, possessing immense power. However, Su Mo waited by the lake for several days without seeing the Water Soft Fairy. He only spotted a few faint traces of silk ribbons along the lake's edge.

Leaving the lake, Su Mo immediately set out to track down Lin Feng. Lin Feng was renowned for his pristine ancient wooden staff, and was said to haunt ancient forests. Deep within a gloomy, ancient forest, where the trees were ancient and mysterious, and thick mist hung heavy. Within the woods, he discovered large footprints and traces of damage caused by the ancient staff. A glimmer of hope ignited, and he quickened his pace, but ultimately, he could not find Lin Feng.

Su Mo then traveled to various locations in search of Master Dong Meng. Legend has it that Master Dong Meng possessed the power of the stars, capable of controlling the forces of the stars. He arrived at a towering mountain, where stars shone mysteriously. At the summit, Su Mo detected the lingering presence of starlight, but Master Dong Meng had vanished as if he had vanished.

The search for the young man in green was also full of twists and turns. Su Mo heard the faint sound of the flute in a dark valley, but lost his way in the process of chasing the source of the sound.

Mu Qi's wooden retractable spear is said to be able to shrink and grow, with endless variations. Su Mo found a hole in a barren desert that looked like it had been left by a spear, but Mu Qi was nowhere to be found.

Su Mo's journey to immortality continues. He doesn't know how many difficulties await him, nor when he will be reunited with his fellow disciples. But his heart is filled with faith. He firmly believes that one day, they will reunite and write the legend of immortality together.

At this moment, Su Mo stood before an ancient ruin, gazing at the mysterious, tightly closed door, his heart filled with anticipation and doubt. What secrets lay hidden behind this door? Could he find clues to his fellow apprentices here? Everything was unknown, yet Su Mo, fearlessly reaching out, slowly pushed open the heavy door...
